Good to know, thanks! I suspect they’re utilizing Github repositories, but I
don’t know much more than that - I’ll check. We’re sorely in need of a cloud
architect, as the one we had left for lots and lots more $$$. They’re actively
recruiting for one, but I wonder how successful we’ll be since

Be sure they aren't committing cloud authentication keys to public
Github repositories. This happened at work and in short order one
researcher's AWS account was charged tens of thousands of dollars.
Amazon eventually refunded most of it but it was still a hassle for all
involved.
Github also

For the benefit of the masses:
Microsoft, like other “cloud” providers, allows you to create or “spin up”
virtual computers, typically servers, in the cloud with nothing more than a few
mouse clicks. It’s easy to do and can be done in a matter of minutes. This ease

The first time I hit $2,000 somebody in accounting freaked out. That was the
first quarter and that was when I realized I needed more compute power for my
VMs. I'd been using 8GB of RAM but the machines were very unhappy. I find it
interesting that in my VMWare systems 8GB is adequate,
We currently run an Azure environment. I’ve got a bunch of data scientists running their own environment in our tenant and they’re spinning stuff up daily. I’ve pointed out that every time they spin up a new instance of something the meter is running, but they don’t seem to care. Not sure who’s
Cap-ex vs Op-ex. When I first got out of college everything was supposed to be

you're supposed to turn everything into op-ex. I've got a whole bunch of VM

I'm sure it's some variant of the shit where they will pay more in operating
costs, often many times over, rather than do a better job up front, because
it would involve a slightly higher capital cost.
But eventually someone has to buy the cars, which is less likely if they
are overpriced.

Maybe just reflecting the overall rise in used car prices then.
Don't ask me how dealers think. It's like rental real estate. Judging
from what I see on the commercial markets here, landlords seem to prefer
keeping a high asking rent on vacant properties than they do cutting the
rent and getting
Not sure if that will work. These cars are relatively scarce and destined
for a very limited market niche.

He'll straighten out the pix for an additional $500.
On a somewhat related topic, I've been tracking the prices of used E250
Bluetec sedans. I've noticed that if the cars don't sell, after several
months the dealer (indi or Mercedes) will RAISE the price $500 - 1000.
